I don't really believe that luxury cars or jewelry are inherently evil and won't defend those claims. I gave those as examples of (obvious) reasons people might object to those things. >Clearly some ppl buy expensive…

Sarcasm is a perfectly valid rhetorical device. If you find it rude, I apologize. Some luxury goods are beautiful. Some are high-performance. However, many of them are prized merely because they are exclusive. I find…
They made a tradeoff of having higher and less uniform memory access. This was not a failure. It was a decision that paid off.
I'm sure that's a real benefit to all the people living paycheck-to-paycheck who wear mechanical watches.
Oh yes, the expertise of Patek Philippe will trickle down any day now.
>Im so bewildered I’ll just ask “what problem you can possibly have with luxury cars and jewelry?” I don't believe you. It is pretty obvious someone would object to luxury cars and jewelry: 1. Luxury cars are often…
In what universe did Zen 1 fail? Zen 1 was one of the best-performing designs in the world and scaled very well to high core counts. The fact that Zen 2 is better doesn't reduce the excellence of Zen 1.
It works really, really well for libraries. Research libraries (and research librarians) are phenomenally valuable. I've missed them any time I'm not at a university. Both curators and algorithms are valuable. This goes…
The phasing of that is obviously tone-deaf, but I can't object to the principle. Would you read something that mentioned "the narrow, slit-like eyes of Chin Loo"? Didn't think so. The better solution is obviously to…
Range absolutely is an issue for people who have owned an EV. More importantly, it is an issue for people who haven't owned an EV. Claiming it isn't a problem because current EV owners are OK with it is preaching to the…
PHEVs make more sense to me anyway. For the majority of trips they run off the battery which makes them just as good as a BEV, but they have no problems with range and they are a whole lot cheaper.
>Autopilot works great. I don't think anyone claims otherwise on the older models. The problem is twofold: 1. They promised "Full Self Driving" and delivered ordinary driver assistance. 2. The vision-based approach just…
